Title: Apparatus and method for self-adjusting downhole signal communication
Inventor: GRUENHAGEN HARTMUT
IPC: E21B47/18
Filed: 1999-02-05
Abstract: An apparatus for sending signals downhole during drilling operations uses a main pump 15 to pump mud from a mud pit 13 at a substantially constant flow rate. The bulk of the pumped mud goes downhole to maintain adequate circulation for the drill bit 12. A by-pass pipe 23 is provided with a shut-off valve 24 that is controlled by an electronic controller 25. By pulsing the opening and closing of the shut-off valve 24, the volumetric flow downhole is pulsed. The pulse amplitude and duration can be controlled. These pulses in the flow rate are detected by a suitable downhole device such as a flow rate measurement device, a pressure detector or a turbine. The downhole device is adapted to send a response signal indicating that a pulse has been detected downhole, and wherein if the controller fails o receive a response signal it adjusts, in use, the parameters of the pulse to increase the likelihood of detection.

Title: Linking or interconnecting mechanism for screens
Inventor: NOTT MARK RODNEY
IPC: E04B2/74
Filed: 2001-01-26
Abstract: In order to provide a convenient way of linking screens 1,3 together, a linking mechanism has a vertical post 6 and the screens have attached to their edges lower hook-shaped linking members 21, of which one lower one faces upwards and one lower one faces downwards whilst the upper ones face downwards. The linking members 21 have engaging portions 22 which slide in dove-tail grooves in the edges of the panels 1,3. The post 6 has a body 7 and end caps 11,12. To assemble the panels, the lower edge of the post body 7 is engaged in the recess of the lower left-hand linking member 21, the upper left-hand linking member 22 is dropped into position, the right-hand panel 3 is hooked into position with its downward-facing hooks 23 and the top cap 11 is screwed down. Both bottom linking members 21 need to be screwed to the respective panels 1,3, but neither of the top linking members 21, or just the right-hand top linking member 21, need be so screwed. The arrangement provides a very simple way of assembling the screens 1,3 together. The post 6 can be circular and this enables the panels 1,3 to assume any suitable angle with respect to each other.

Title: Evaluating the degradation of an automotive emission control device
Inventor: ORZEL DANIEL V
IPC: F01N3/08
Filed: 2001-12-04
Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for evaluating the degradation of an automotive emission control device having a catalyst that stores NOx during lean air/fuel operation and releases NOx during stoichiometric or rich air/fuel operation. A plurality of NOx levels downstream of the catalyst are determined over time and the degree of degradation of the catalyst is estimated based upon the rate of change or "slope" of NOx levels in the exhaust gas.

Title: Data processing performance control
Inventor: FLYNN DAVID WALTER
IPC: G06F1/32
Filed: 2003-01-13
Abstract: A data processing system generates control signals that are used to control further circuits that operate so as to support a desired performance level of the processor. The further circuits are capable of supporting high and low levels of operation as well as a plurality of performance levels therebetween.

Title: Method and apparatus for well testing
Inventor: DYBDAHL BJORN
IPC: E21B49/08
Filed: 2001-08-28
Abstract: A method for testing petroleum or water wells. A tool is secured to a tubing and run into the well and to the reservoir zone to be explored. An upper and a lower seal isolate the reservoir zone. A piston is run into the tubing and pumped down to the tool. When sampling is to take place, a valve is opened and the reservoir fluid, together with drilling fluid filling the well, is allowed to enter the tool while displacing the piston. At the same time, measuring is carried out to identify a tracer added to the drilling fluid. When the tracer no longer can be traced, the drilling fluid contaminated reservoir fluid is displaced out of the tool by the piston and clean reservoir fluid is allowed to enter the tool. The invention also relates to an apparatus for practising the method.
